Tilos Marathon is a nine-days-long festival, organised by the cultical hungarian radio station, Tilos Rádió and Dürer Kert.
The aim of the festival is
to raise money for the radio station, and to have a great time
.
Every day is about a different topic: a day for children/families, rock day, slam poetry day, folk/world music day, bicycle day, reggae day
, and many-many great bands. But of course, there will be tombola, great foods, and pub-theatre!
Well, even the longest marathon starts with the first step...oh, not step, party! The first day of the Tilos Marathon comes with slam poetry, dubtechno and a Meszecsinka concert.
And as you know,
every party lasts at least two days, so the next day will be the offical party day with Zombori, Iparkutya and Vanmoscselló.
The
third day is the day for families and children
, with S
oup Theatre, Rutkai Bori És A Hébe-Hóba banda, and Sonar Bistro
- and if you, or your child wants to
build a robot
, or to draw something, he/she can do it in the garden.






The fourth day is the folk/world music day, with bands like Vodku, Egy Kiss Erzsi Zene or Dina.
And all the food comes with
home-baked bread
! On the
fifth day
, you can rock out to
Pozwakowski
''s noisy and cinematic post-rock, or to
Kaldera
, or to
Rotten Roots'' acoustic set
. And if you are tired of headbanging, you can
chill out in the garden to the DJs
(Smokin''headz; Minek Carlos, Rene Mascapone) or eat a great deer stew or a fish soup.






On the reggae day, you won''t stop dancing for a minute!
Why? Because
PASO Sound System, Ladánybene 27 Jam Special, Riddim Colony and Afrodzqm will play.
So get your foots ready for the reggae day and for the day following the reggae day too.
"Bicycle, bicycle, I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike!" - the line is from a Queen song, but maybe Mystery Gang, Budapest''s famous rockabilly band will sing it too on the bicycle day.
And if your bike is ready, you should check your microphone too, because
Tilos Hip-Hop Allstarz
will show you, what a mic can do. Busa Pista, Bobakrome, Ozon, Zomblaze, Buppa and Riddler on the stage!






On the gipsy day, Ramses Hoppa and Dromara will play, and you can also eat traditional gipsy food too.
The
ninth day is a party day, a great closing party day
: the best DJs of Tilos Radio play all night long (Vida G., Vida L., Ren, Keyser, Shuriken, stb.) - and how can you prepare yourself for it? By a special ambient concert by Korai Öröm.
